Mr. Emperor's Heart, a Needle in the Sea!

Nalan Group.

Top-floor office.

Seated in his wheelchair, Nalan Ye-Jue gazed calmly toward the opposite side.

On a massive, ultra-high-definition screen covering the entire wall, the same foreign-language webpage displayed on the Imperial University associate professor's computer was visible.

The content was even clearer and more extensive.

It included quite a bit of information that remained undecoded on ordinary webpages.

A vice president from the group's senior management reported excitedly, "BMP-16 is a major medical discovery. Once put into research and developed into a pharmaceutical, all human skeletal diseases will be solved! Our group must seize the initiative and secure the patent rights for this research. When that happens, Young Master, you might be able to..."

He had intended to say that Nalan Ye-Jue's crippled legs might be able to stand again.

However, as his gaze swept over Nalan Ye-Jue, he shuddered; the man's frigid aura was so intimidating that he dared not let the word "crippled" slip out.

"You would be able to... lead our Nalan Group to crush the pharmaceutical field from the technology sector... The only thing missing is one key step: finding the first author of this academic paper, QUEEN! QUEEN is a woman, and the Red Cross has her records. As long as you give the order, we will investigate her background immediately..."

The Nalan Group's intelligence network was incredibly powerful.

Information that couldn't be bought on the black market could be uncovered by the Nalan Group.

However, the intelligence department was a direct line commanded personally by Nalan Ye-Jue; without his order, no one dared to interfere.

The vice president thought to himself that by being the first to report this major academic news to the Young Master, he had surely performed a great service. Furthermore, he might have a chance to interact with those mysterious figures in the intelligence department and get closer to the Young Master's inner circle...

Who would have known?

The next second.

Nalan Ye-Jue's voice sounded, deep and resonant: "I have no interest in the pharmaceutical field."

Then, his long fingers tapped the desktop coldly: "Next."

The next group executive hurriedly gathered all his focus to report on his department's agenda.

The vice president stood stunned, his mind blank: "..."

Had he tried to curry favor only to be kicked by the horse? The Young Master wasn't interested in such major academic news?!

Yet, clearly, just a few days ago, the Young Master had ordered the latest smart robots to be equipped with medical foundation courses and explanation functions, and had demanded they accelerate the development of robotic functions for healing head wounds and restoring intelligence...

These were all medical functions!

And now the Young Master said he wasn't interested in the pharmaceutical field?

Even if he wasn't interested, didn't the Young Master want to treat his own crippled legs? As a man, didn't he want to stand up?

The vice president felt like crying—the Young Master's heart was as elusive as a needle at the bottom of the sea!

The Nalan Group meeting lasted the entire day.

When Bai Chi arrived, the meeting had just concluded.

Nalan Ye-Jue was chatting with an elderly man with graying hair.

"Principal Zhou, is your evaluation report missing something?" Nalan Ye-Jue's tone was indifferent, yet carried an unprovoked authority.

The old man opposite him had white hair and a beard, with a deep, furrowed brow that gave him a look of great dignity. However, facing Nalan Ye-Jue's questioning, he merely stroked his beard and smiled: "As expected, nothing escapes the Young Master. This time, when our Royal Academy evaluated the robots commissioned by your group, everything else was fine, but for one key link, I had originally asked a young friend to conduct the testing. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to reach her these past few days... and since you were in such a rush, I had no choice but to submit the report to you with that part missing."

Nalan Ye-Jue questioned: "A young friend?"

Principal Zhou smiled: "Although she is quite young, her opinion is of vital importance."
